"Livin' La Vida Loca" singer Ricky Martin, who revealed he is gay in 2010, has split from his partner of four years, economist Carlos Gonzalez Abella, according to media reports.

"Ricky and Carlos have mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be united by friendship and their shared experiences," Martin's spokesperson says in a statement to Usmagazine.com.

Those "shared experiences" include raising Martin's five-year-old twin sons, whom the singer welcomed via a surrogate. In his coming out post on his website, Martin told fans that his "truth" fills him with strength and courage: "This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who, with their outlook, teach me new things every day."
